What do you believe?


So many of us who truly believe in this country, but think common sense is dead, and feel alone these days. I get so frustrated, Glenn asked a caller who was ready to give up, to give him a few weeks to prove that he wasn't alone. Today, Glenn starts trying to make this idea into a reality. Step one---if you believe in the principles that this country was founded on---please email an individual picture of you--and each member of your family who wants to participate to wesurroundthem@gmail.com

1) Yes or no: Do you believe America is a good place, that we've lost our way over the years, but generally speaking we tried hard. We try to make amends. We have tried to do the right thing. Just like everybody else, we fail from time to time and we have truly lost our way in the last 20 years. But gosh, if you look at America, she's good and our founders were good and our founding documents are good. We've just strayed too far away from them.
2) Yes or no: I believe in God. I believe in God and he is the center of my life, and God does not tell people to behead others or to persecute others that see God in a different way. I believe that God is not telling "them" to persecute others.
3) Yes or no: It is my responsibility to try to be better and a more honest person than I was yesterday. Sometimes I fail, I'll make mistakes, but it's my main mission to be better than I was yesterday.
4) Yes or no: The family is sacred. I and my spouse are the ultimate authority under God when it comes to my family. I raise my family, and that comes with a grave responsibility. If I fail, I answer to God.
5) Yes or no: If you break the law, you pay the penalty. No one should be above the law.
6) Yes or no: I have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but that is not a guarantee of equal results for anyone. Ex: Owning a home is a privilege not a right.
7) Yes or no: I work hard for what I have, and I will share it with others that I choose when I choose, should I choose. Government should not force me to be charitable.
8) It is not un-American for anyone to disagree with my opinion, but my opinion or others' opinions may be anti-American. Anti-American rhetoric would be anything that is destructive to the Constitution and our country as our founders understood it.
9) And the last one is the government should work for me. The government should answer to me. I do not answer to the government.

I want you to ask as many people as you know, do you believe in these things? Just seven out of nine. Do you believe in them? Then will you please take a picture of yourself. If you ask your family and you ask your children tonight, do you believe in these things. Take a picture of your spouse. Not as a family. Take them one at a time and send them to Glenn, e-mail them to Wesurroundthem@gmail.com. This is how much I believe that you are not alone. This could be considered a petition, a photo petition that our values are still solid. That Americans still have faith in our Constitution and what it was meant to stand for. That we believe we can still have a society of Accountability, Responsibility, and Pride. How many millions of people can send their picture in? It will be interesting to see what Glenn Beck will do with the photos....
